Abstract

A method for determining a three dimensional representation of a tubular organ, the method comprising the procedures of registering a three dimensional medical positioning system (MPS) coordinate system with a two dimensional coordinate system, acquiring a plurality of MPS points within the tubular organ, the MPS points are associated with the MPS coordinated system, each of the MPS point is acquired with a respective organ timing signal reading, acquiring at least one two dimensional image of the tubular organ, the at least one two dimensional image is associated with the two dimensional coordinate system, the at least one two dimensional image is acquired from at least one perspective, each of the at least one two dimensional image is further acquired with a respective organ timing signal reading, associated each of the MPS points with the at least one two dimensional image according to the organ timing signals thereof, determining a temporal three dimensional representation of a portion of the tubular organ for each MPS point, the portion being identifiable in the respective two dimensional image.
